Best Time to Visit

Nice weather tends to remain quite mild all year round. Winters are more cool than cold, while summers are warm and sunny with average temperatures lingering between 21 and 24°.

The weather in Nice is perfect for lazing on sun-kissed beaches from late May to September. The rest of the year is cooler and quite rainy so it’s best to avoid this time if sunbathing is your main objective.

In February Nice hosts its own Carnival. A fortnight of parades, fireworks, music and dance, the Nice Carnival is a true spectacle. Be warned that this is a popular time for visitors so book accommodation well in advance.
